I live in Sydney, Australia so Christmas is summer time. My husband and I have our own tradition of driving to a quiet beach north of Wollongong with a picnic (chicken, salad, fruit, yoghurt and champagne. There's a rock ledge to explore with starfish and other creatures.
Last year it was unseasonably cold - 20 Celsius so I didn't put more than my toes in the water.
This year they are predicting 25 Celsius - should be enjoyable.
We have had some disasters - 3 years in a row. There was a really bad bush fire one year - I was worried we wouldn't find a road open to get home. The next year a friend came with us and she fell over and broke her wrist and the following year the electronic car opener got wet and we were locked out of the car. But the last few years have been O.K.
Lots of Australians have picnics on the beach for Christmas day. We found the beach we go to when the nearby beach we went to the year before was packed and there was no parking.
